My plans to post daily about our road trip have kinda been derailed by . . . us not traveling for the last few days. Also by the Internet not working for most of yesterday.

But today we make up for it, because today we drive the eight hours to Pittsburgh.

Holy crap.

This is also probably the last time I will be in my grandmother's house as a family member instead of as a guest. That's rather more sobering.

*sigh* What is, is. This morning we're also visiting puppies (who should have their eyes open by now!) and kittens (who I am going to get pictures of and make macros, dammit; I promised I would!).

Is breakfast tiem nao. *scuttles*

*deep breath*

The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Pittsburgh is the city of bridges, where the Allegheny and the Monongahela come together to make the Ohio (and I cannot believe I spelled those both right on the first try).

And.

Well, I'm back, like the man said.

Much to my surprise, I started grinning hard when I saw the skyline, and I didn't stop until we were out of sight of the city (trying to find our hotel).

And having reached my destination, I'll probably never use this tag again, which is said, but . . . the journey's over. Or really, the first leg of the journey, I should say. There's plenty of journeying to be had, and sooner than I think.

Hi, Pittsburgh. Bring it on.
